The Soft Rock of 1970 Episode #DCLXI The Doctor of Digital™ G. Mick Smith, PhD
Update: 2025-10-08
Description
The summer of 1970 arrived with uncertainty hanging in the air. Woodstock’s muddy fields were barely dry, the Vietnam War continued despite growing protests, and American culture was navigating a profound transition between the revolutionary spirit of the late 1960s and whatever would come next. Yet amid this turbulence, a collection of songs emerged that offered something the times desperately needed: melodic beauty, emotional honesty, and a gentle soundtrack for processing change. The Three Musketeers at Mayfair High School, myself, Don, and Rod were becoming politically aware, and we watched the events in Vietnam as draft notices were not long in coming. Let’s explore how these songs captured our emotional landscape of that transformative summer while we played ping pong and basketball at Rod’s house, and why these resonate with listeners more than five decades later.
